What did it leave you with?

The story

I spent years believing there was a right order to things, and a right speed to do them at. Nothing happened to change that. I just heard myself saying it one day and it stopped sounding true. It ends unresolved, because that’s how it went.

What have you been saying about yourself for so long that you’ve stopped hearing it?

Lyrics

Thought I had it clear
Back then

…yeah

Train's late again
Still don't mind
Same talk, same plans
Different night

Everyone says they're close
Say it like they know
I just nod along
Like I don't

I used to think it meant something

I just wanna get it right
Feel like I'm behind
Thought I'd be further on by now

I just wanna see it clear
Know I'm getting there
Like it's all working out somehow

Phone lights up
I let it fade
Said I'd call them back
Another day

Same ideas in my head
Just don't land the same
Used to hold me still
Now they change

I been trying to get it right
Running out of time
Nothing really lining up right now

I keep saying I'll be fine
If I stay in line
But it don't feel how I thought it would

…yeah

I don't check it now
Like I did before
If it comes, it comes
I don't force

Let it move a bit
Let it change its shape
If it don't align
I don't chase

I don't even know what "right" is now
Said it so long I believed it somehow

I don't need to get it right
(I don't need to get it right)
I don't need a line
(I don't need a line)
I don't need it clear right now

If it's moving, that's enough
(That's enough, that's enough)
I don't need to rush
(I don't need to rush)
I don't need to hold it down

I don't trust the timeline I used to believe in anymore
(I don't trust it, I don't trust it)
I don't trust the timeline I used to believe in anymore

Thought I had it mapped out
(Don't feel like that, don't feel like that)
Don't feel like that anymore
I don't trust the timeline I used to believe in anymore

Don't feel like that anymore
(Don't feel like that anymore)
Don't feel like that anymore
